We talked with the founder of @LocalCatch about the country’s current import-export seafood system, the problems it poses in a time of climate change, and how we can start sourcing our own fish. buff.ly/3XPO8nn
“Many people don’t have the privilege to be able to choose where their food comes from. It’s up to policymakers, funders, and decision-makers.” —@sea_the_people, associate professor at @UMaine and founder of @LocalCatchbuff.ly/3XPO8nn
Most of the seafood we eat in the U.S. is imported. Most of what we catch is exported. In a Q&A with Civil Eats, @LocalCatch founder Joshua Stoll explains how we can start sourcing our own fish. @sea_the_peoplebuff.ly/3XPO8nn

Ten years ago (and counting) I started an #oyster farm in Maine to learn about the emerging aquaculture sector by way of doing. If local and community-based seafood matters to you, join @LocalCatch in celebrating #FindYourSeafoodWeek.
Are you interested in the intersection between #seafood, health, and food systems? I am recruiting an MS or PhD student to work with our team @UMaine@LocalCatch starting Fall 2024 or Spring 2025. Survey design and R experience preferred.
Our @LocalCatch team is launching a new program for seafood businesses called the Seafood Accelerator and Innovation Lab (SAIL). Apply today! shorturl.at/cdj05

A view of the Columbia Gorge this week during the Tribal Fisher Expo hosted by @CRITFC. Amazing to learn about the work that tribal fishers are doing to sustain their fishing rights. #salmon#junehogs@LocalCatch
